[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#494916: Bug#494916: virtualbox-ose: virtualbox

[Tim Richardson]

I can only partially answer the questions, and I will close the bug
report since I don't know how to reproduce it.

I fixed the problem by completely uninstalling virtualbox-ose and by
purging .Virtualbox of everything except the virtual disk files.

Until I did that, I was getting a freeze in all virtual machines on
every resume from suspend or hibernate. I thought it was something to do
with networking because another apparently identical Debian system using
a wired connection was not freezing. 

This problem survived reinstalls, even of the 1.6.4 .deb from Sun. 
The installation of Debian was on a previous Ubuntu system with a
separate /home partition, and the problem appeared first on Ubuntu 8.04
when I updgraded to 1.6.2 using the 8.10 repository. 

So there is probably some kind of bug with migration of settings, but
since this involves Ubuntu ... 

I saw nothing in log files to give any hints.

thanks for investigating it.
